The joy of expectancy…
December 1, 2025
Dear Family of Mary!
The November 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady, the Queen of Peace!!
Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to follow me. Pray for those who do not pray and do not want peace and joy, which only the Most High can give. May your souls be united in the joy of expectancy and your heart will be filled with peace. You will be convinced, little children, that all will be good and that God will bless all; because the good that you give will return to you, and joy will enfold your heart because you are with God and in God. Thank you for having responded to my call. (With ecclesiastical approval)
In the Entrance Antiphon for today’s Holy Mass (Monday of the First Week of Advent) we hear these words:
Hear the word of the Lord, O nations; declare it to the distant lands: Behold, our Savior will come; you need no longer fear.
This is the constant theme for Advent. We await the coming of the Lord! But not in fear! We await with joy! It is the joy of expectancy!!! Our Lady wants our hearts to be united in the joy of our great hope! In the November 25, 2025 message she told us:
“May your souls be united in the joy of expectancy and your heart will be filled with peace.”
This expectancy is joyous because our faith tells us that God is faithful to His promises! He will send us the salvation we seek! He will not delay, but will come swiftly, with peace in abundance!
Our Lady wants our hearts to be filled with peace because all has been accomplisehd as she said in her Magnificat. All our hopes are fulfilled in Christ her Son. Let’s pray together her song of expectant hope. We have nothing to fear!
Canticle of Mary
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory to the Father…
Amen! And so we say yes to Our Lady’s words:
“May your souls be united in the joy of expectancy and your heart will be filled with peace.”
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
